Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 Just wondering does blue shield/ blue cross normally cover a distal rny?? With all the ins. denial problems people are having, would this surgery be an option to think about, if they were to deny you of having a DS?. Ideally I can see where the DS is a good choice and [popular. I had an prox. rny in 99 lost 60lbs. and after 6 months started to gain. My diabetes is back again from the weight gain and meds you take to control the diabetes. I know I don't have the option to have a DS, due to my pouch and complexity of the surgery. Emailed both Dr. Ren and Gagner who suggested a revision to a distal gastric bypass. Right now I can eat pretty muchof anything and my pouch is not stretched, had an upper G.I.. But to continue to lose weight I will need the malabsorption part to help things along. I will evenually end up on insulin if the weight is not reduced, as well as all the other problems associated with diabetes. Thanks for your imput.
